Following a highly successful beta phase, Bitget has officially launched its TradFi trading suite to all users as of January 5, 2026. The move marks a major milestone in Bitget’s evolution from a crypto-centric platform into what it calls the world’s largest Universal Exchange.
The public rollout comes after overwhelming demand during the beta period, signaling growing interest among users for a unified platform that connects digital assets with traditional financial markets.
Strong Beta Performance Signals Growing Demand
Bitget announced the TradFi beta in December, attracting more than 80,000 users to its waitlist within weeks. During testing, user engagement exceeded expectations, with several instruments recording significant trading activity.
Gold trading pair XAU/USD emerged as a standout performer, posting more than $100 million in single-day trading volume during the beta phase. According to Bitget, insights gathered during testing were used to refine execution speed, liquidity depth, and user experience ahead of the public launch.
With the official release, users now have access to over 79 tradable instruments across metals, forex, indices, and commodities. All trades can be settled in USDT and executed directly from a Bitget account, allowing seamless movement between crypto and traditional assets within a single interface.
Advancing Bitget’s Universal Exchange Vision
The launch reinforces Bitget’s broader vision of building a non-segmented trading ecosystem where users can access multiple asset classes without friction. The TradFi suite focuses on deep liquidity, competitive spreads, and flexible leverage options—features refined through extensive beta feedback.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the expansion reflects changing trader preferences.
“Traders want the freedom to move between crypto and traditional markets as conditions evolve,” Chen said. “Making TradFi publicly available is about giving users that accessibility in one place, without unnecessary barriers.”
Expanding Beyond Crypto
Founded in 2018, Bitget now serves more than 120 million users worldwide, offering access to cryptocurrencies, tokenized stocks, ETFs, and additional financial instruments. The platform also provides AI-powered trading tools and interoperability features designed for both retail and professional traders.
Bitget’s decentralized finance presence is anchored by Bitget Wallet, an all-in-one financial app used by over 80 million people globally. The wallet aims to bridge blockchain infrastructure with real-world finance, supporting onboarding, trading, earning, and payments in a single environment.
The company has also strengthened its global footprint through high-profile partnerships, including serving as the Official Crypto Partner of LALIGA in Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, the exclusive crypto exchange partner of MotoGP™, and a blockchain education partner with UNICEF.
Outlook
Industry observers view the TradFi launch as a strategic expansion that could attract both crypto-native and traditional investors. By consolidating multiple asset classes into one platform, Bitget may be positioning itself to capture demand from users seeking diversified exposure amid evolving global market conditions.
